Why does my tooth hurt after crown?

I got a crown 2 days ago. My tooth hurts. What could be the cause?

Hi, There are several reasons why your tooth hurts. First, you just had a procedure done two days ago. This is very recent. Treatment causes pain and this pain can last up to a few weeks. Make sure to check your bite and see if the tooth you just had treated touches first. If this tooth touches first before your other teeth, then the bite needs adjusting. Another reason for pain could be a nerve issue, but it's too soon to say since treatment was just performed.
